1. A method of image processing, said method comprising:
- for each of a plurality of pixels of a display, obtaining a measure of a light-output response of at least a portion of the pixel at each of a plurality of driving levels;
to increase a visibility of a characteristic of a displayed image during a use of the display, modifying a map that is based on the obtained measures; and
based on the modified map and an image signal, obtaining a display signal.

Abstract
Embodiments include applying a compensation to an image signal based on nonuniformity of a display device. The compensation is based on information about variations in light-output response among elements of the display device. The compensation is also modified based on a characteristic of a desired use of the display.

33. An image processing apparatus comprising:
-
an array of storage elements configured to store, for each of a plurality of pixels of a display, a measure of a light-output response of at least a portion of the pixel at each of a plurality of driving levels; and
an array of logic elements configured to modify a map based on the stored measures and to obtain a display signal based on the modified map and an image signal, wherein the array of logic elements is configured to modify the map to increase a visibility of a characteristic of a displayed image during a use of the display. - View Dependent Claims (34)

35. A method of image processing, said method comprising:
-
for each of a plurality of pixels of a display, obtaining a measure of a light-output response of at least a portion of the pixel at each of a plurality of driving levels;
modifying a map of the display that is based on the obtained measures, said modifying including, with respect to a magnitude of a component having a spatial period between one and fifty millimeters, decreasing a magnitude of a component having a spatial period less than one millimeter and decreasing a magnitude of a component having a spatial period greater than fifty millimeters; and
based on the modified map and an image signal, obtaining a display signal.
